Answer:

<em>The tension in the web is 0.017738 N</em>

Explanation:

<u>Net Force</u>

The net force exerted on an object is the sum of the vectors of each individual force applied to an object.

If the net force equals 0, then the object is at rest or moving at a constant speed.

The spider described in the question is hanging at rest. It means the sum of the forces it's receiving is 0.

A hanging object has only two forces: The tension of the supporting string (in our case, the web) and its weight. If the object is in equilibrium, the tension is numerically equal to the weight:

T=W=m.g

The mass of the spider is m=1.81 gr = 0.00181 Kg, thus the tension is:

T = 0.00181\ Kg\cdot 9.8\ m/s^2

T=0.017738\ N

The tension in the web is 0.017738 N

When Missourians carve their initials into the bark of a tree, the damage leaves the tree open to ____________________.
sasho [114]

Answer:

In fact, carving letters into a tree probably won't hurt it. ... In general, the tree will compartmentalize the wound and it will heal over. The initials that remain visible are essentially scar tissue, permanent scar tissue.

Explanation:

Unfortunately, when carving into the trunk of a tree the blade of a knife often penetrates the outer bark and cuts into the inner bark. ... In cases that the phloem is damaged all the way around the trunk (in a ring for example), the tree will slowly and eventually starve to death.

A spy satellite uses a telescope with a 1.7-m-diameter mirror. It orbits the earth at a height of 180 km.
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer: the minimum spacing that must be there between two objects on the earth's surface if they are to be resolved as distinct objects by this telescope 6.45 cm

Explanation:

Given that;

diameter of the mirror d = 1.7 m

height h = 180 km = 180 × 10³ m

wavelength λ = 500 nm = 5 × 10⁻⁹ m

Now Angular separation from the peak of the central maximum is expressed as;

sin∅= 1.22 λ / d

sin∅ = (1.22 × 5 × 10⁻⁹) / 1.7

 sin∅ = 3.588 × 10⁻⁷

we know that;

 sin∅  = object separation / distance from telescope

object separation =   sin∅ × distance from telescope

object separation = 3.588 × 10⁻⁷  × 180 × 10³

object separation =6.45 × 10⁻² m

then we convert to centimeter

object separation = 6.45 cm

Therefore the minimum spacing that must be there between two objects on the earth's surface if they are to be resolved as distinct objects by this telescope 6.45 cm

Suppose there is a uniform magnetic field, B, pointing into the page (so your index finger will point into the page). If the vel
Naily [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall show all given data in vector form and calculate the direction of force with the help of following formula

force F = q ( v x B )

q is charge , v is velocity and B is magnetic field.

Given B = - Bk ( i is  right  , j is  upwards  and k is straight up the page  )

v = v j

F = q ( vj x - Bk )

= -Bqvi

The direction is towards left .

a ) If velocity is down

v = - v j

F = q ( - vj x - bk )

= qvB i

Direction is right .

b ) v = v i

F = q ( vi x - Bk )

= qvB j

force is upwards

c ) v = - vi

F = q ( -vi x - Bk )

= -qvBj

force is downwards

d ) v = - v k

F = q( - vk x -Bk  )

= 0

No force will be created

e ) v =  v k

F = q(  vk x -Bk  )

= 0

No force will be created
